Beecncrs Belief.

In recent letter to Dr. Morrison Of
Baltimore, Mr.. Beecher said: The for
mulated doctrines. as hold them, are: y
personal God, creator and ruler over ali
things; the human family universally sin
ful; the need and possibility and facts Of
conversion; the divine agency in such 4
work: Jesus Christ the manifestation Of
God in human conditions; His office in re-
demption supreme do not believe IL the
Calvinistic form of stating the atoncment.
l do not believe in the fall Of the human
race in Adam, and of course, do not hold
that Christ's work was to satisfy the law
broken by Adam for all his posterity. The
race was not lost, but has been ascending
steadily from creation. am in hearty &C
cord with revivals and revival preaching,
with the educating forces Of the church,
and in sympathy with all ministers who in
their several ways seek to build up men
into the image of Jesus Christ, by whose
faithfulness, generosity, and love hope to
be saved and brought home to heaven.

Woman's Wcndrcus Pluck.

A case Of extraordinary pluck on the
part of q woman occurred at Jefferson
.Medical College, Philadelphia, recently.
The lady applied to have a tumor removed
from her arm The physicians decided to
have .ne operation performed in the pres
s:ence of the students, and when the hour
: for the clinic arrived arrived the lady was
invited into the amphitheatre. The doctors
told her that they would have to admins
ter ether, as the operation would prove
very painful She refused to allow this to
!. be done, and then the physicians tried to
induce her to take glass brandy, which
: she likewise refused. They next offered
her. glass of wine, but the lady simply
2 waved it away, saying that she would be
s able to undergo the operation.
The doctors consulted for moment and
decided to take the woman at her word and
60 ahead. They barred her arm to the
shoulder, laid her on her side and then
g buried the knife in the flesh, cut big cash
"over siyinches in length, pulled the bleed
. scraped the bone and then sewed the parts
together... During all this time the patient
never moved. Not cry escaped her, and
as she gritted her teeth her face became as
white asa sheet The physicians and stu
dents looked on with amaZement at the
plucky woman and marveled how she
could endure the terrible pain without q
: whimpeI. after the operation was over,
DR.. Brinton, turning to the 900 students,
said: There is not man among you who
could have stood this operation as heroic
ally assthis Lady has.

,parins and aIyy,es.ous Murder.

daring and mysterious murder was
committed in Charleston .ThuIssay. William
Henry Baxter, colored boy sixteen years
old, employed at Werners iron works, on
sHorlbeek alley, was called to the door by
some boys. When Baxter reached the
door, one of the boys stabbed him in the
left breast. Frank Whitman. q black
smith, was at work in the rear OF the build
ing, and says he saw two or three boys
come to the door and heard them call BaN-
{ ter in a. few moment he saw Baxter return
and cling for h.tle while to his bench,
then fall to the floor Baxter vomited,
shook, as if. in convulsions and died in d
few minutes. No one was found who saw
the blow struck. The wound was made
with wide blade, probably dagger. 1t
entered the breast just above the left nipple
and evidently pierced the heart. Mr.. T.
w. Sires, manager of thei-cn works, found
Baxter dying. The boy was then taken
home. Nei,her the father nor mother Of
the boy knew of any quarrel that might
have Led to- the murder. The police are
: now working on the matter. Whitman,
the blacksmith. thinks he could identify
one of the mudererS The scene of the
murder was between Meeting and King

A Dreadful Disaster.

An accident occurred Monday morning
on the Dedham Branch Of the Boston and
Providence railroad, between Forest Hill
and Roslindale, at what is known as Bussey
Park Bridge. The O'Clock train from
Dedham, consisting of seven cars and bag,
gage car, under charge of Conductor Ill
den, broke through the bridge. The en-
gine and three cars went over safely, but
five others fell through the bridge to the
road beneath, 4 distance Of 80 feet. The
last car. which Was the smoker, turned
completely over and struck on top OF the
others, all being crushed almost out OF
shape.
: The cause Of the accident is said to have
been the breaking of The bridge. It is
stated that the bridge is 1 comparatively
new one, and that the accident was caused
By q truck Of one of the cars giving away
causing the car to strike against the abut'
ment Of the bridge.
The smoking car after it fell caught lire,
but the fire department was promptly or
hand and prevented any spread OF the
flames The, bodies of the dead have al
been removed, and of the wounded some
are at hospitals and some have been taken
home. The latest estimate of the casualties
is 80 killed and about 80 wounded.
That the horrors OF fire were not added
to the terrible isaster was due to the
promptnesS with which relief was sent. \
chemical engine from Roslindale was at
the scene within - minutes after the
wreck occurred. brought by letter-car-
rier, who gave an alarm of fire upon ob'
serving flames issuing from the debris. The
flames Were soon eXtinguished and the fire.
men then did excellent work in rescuing
the injured. The stoves in all the cars
were securely fastened 70 the floors by iron
bolts and the doors Of the stoves were
locked. In only one car did the stove up
set, although in one instance stove was
smashed clear through the roof of the car
\ in which it had been.

Raleigh, N. &C., March Il, says: ..Yester-
day party of people known as Holiness
Evangelists' arrived here. Some were
white and some colored. In the afternoon
one Of them-a woman-preached on the
street. Last night they went to the col
ored churches, where the most eXtraordi-
nary scenes occurred. The Evangelists
told the negroes that all jewelry must be
given up. They took earrings from the
ears. of negro women, and they took also
other jewelry They kept this and have
not returned it. To-day the negroes are
greatly excited about this matter, and have
made complaint to the Mayor One of the
EvaDgelists is reported as having pulled
down pictures in the colored church, say
ing they must he burned Mayor Dodd
Issued orders this afternoon that hereafter
neither these Evaagelists nor the Salvation
